iPad owners have more control over their App Store search results as of Friday morning thanks to new enhancements to the app’s interface. Users can now refine app searches based on release date, price, rating and more.

The new filters appear along with your app search results, and users can select multiple filter criteria.

The App Store search filters appear to be just an iPad feature for now since they don’t appear in the iPhone and iPod touch App Store app.
